Larry,

A couple of options;

You can visit the THE CADILLAC COLOR, UPHOLSTERY & ACCESSORY DATABASE â€" 1940-1979 at the Raritan River Region Chapter;

http://www.rrrclc.org/the-cadillac-color-upholstery-accessory-database-1940-1979/

Or

Download the GM Vehicle Information Kits from the GM Heritage Center;
(Note: large files)

https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits.html

For these codes.

Good luck..!

J. Gomez, thank you for the links unfortunately the info is not there so the mystery color still alludes me.

Larry,

Under page XXXI under the color combination Interior it shows the green tones as dark (Briar Green) or light (Cedar Green) with their respective RM and Dupont formulas.

If I’m not mistaken the interior colors apply to all metal pieces dash, door panel, window trims etc under page XXXIII - XXXV

From what I recall the color tones dark or light are also related to the upholstery color tone scheme.

Other ’54 folks may chime in if I’m in error.

I see the colors for the fabric but not the metal trim, unless I'm missing it. I'm looking under the heritage center link.
thanks
